Disboutiquers Part 12 Kids Disney Boutique / Customs Clothes psst..we sew

[DisneyKings]

I finished my star wars shirt for the big give. This time I remembered to peel the backing off of the iron-on! I hope he likes it. My DH's comment was he'll be hot in it--ARRGH! Jackson listed red, black, blue for his favorite colors, so I went with the black shirt. He's 12, hopefully he won't feel too hot in it.

 

[PrincessKell]

I am all done! I love the way it came out. The backing is from a baby blanket and its really really soft and cozy.

THat is super cute.

I promise this is the last picture!!!

I redid the dress and the straps and finished it

This is the reason I rather give my sewing away than sell it!!! I am always second guessing myself, a while back I submitted one of the dress I made to ycmt and got an email that it was approved , but I chicken out and did not do it!!!!!

Linnette

OOOH that is perfect! I love it. You did such a great job. Its fantastic!

The straps look great. It took me a while to figure out which way to put them on too. There is a picture tutorial that I used... still took a while to figure it out.

Well, I did it! I went off the deep end today! I've been drooling over a Baby Lock serger. I LOVE the jet air threading. I went to a demonstration this morning, and ran out of the store as soon as the demo was over because I knew that if I didn't I'd walk out of there with a new serger. I cam home, ate lunch, took a nap, and wok up really, really wanting that serger. SO, I went and got it! I'm the proud owner of a new Baby Lock Imagine serger. It stitches perfect. Every time! I'm absolutely amazed at this machine.

Since I purchased today, I got a bunch of extra goodies with the machine. I got a trolley bag, a workbook and a set of specialty feet. They were out of the feet, but I'll get them for free when they come back in to the store. I can't wait to get to work on this machine and show you girls what it will do. Did I mention it's amazing?

I'm sooo jealous!!! I too am in with Babylock sergers. Why do they have to be the most expensive??? I am holding out for an Evolve. I really want wave stitch and coverstitch. Did you get the Imagine Wave or the Imagine? I don't think I could get it without the wave stitch. I want it badly! I can just imagine using it to trim out everything I make instead of rick rack. I may be waiting forever for my Evolve though.
I was told about the special where you get the workbook too. I really want to get it because I hear that workbook is great.
It seems everyone I know has an Evolve and doesn't use it around here where I live. If only they would just "lend" it to me.

Hello -

I am new to the Disboutiquers section of the Disboards. I have been trolling through seeing all the beautiful work everyone has done. I love the outfits I am seeing.

We are going to be at the BWV in April and I am sewing dresses for my twin 2 year olds. Their favorite princess currently is Snow White. I have looked on like and at local craft/fabric stores and can't seem to find a simple applique with Snow White's face only. Any suggestions as to where I can look online???

THANKS!!!!!!

Stacy

I found that one on etsy. I know it isn't just her face, but that is closest I found. There is an auction for a dress with just the face on it. You could pm her and ask her where she got the design. If I had more time right now I'd offer to make one for you but I am sooo busy!

Thanks for all the thoughts a prayers! Thankfully they didn't have to do emergency surgery yesterday. BUT he still needs surgery! The dr said what is happening is since he only has a small intestine there is extra room in his abdomen. The hernia happens to be a large incisional one. So what happens is his intestine rolls and sometimes it gets caught in his hernia and then if he has eaten it gets blocked which causes all of his pain. So they need to close it up and ad some kind of mesh to keep everything in place. This will be his 4th abdominal surgery in 8 yrs UGH! First he had his colon removed and then the take down surgery then he had an incisional hernia where his stoma was with the colostomy bag now this one! Though I think this one will be harder then his last hernia op because it is much bigger and he is 7 yrs older. The last one I was pg with Kyle and I juke that I needed my maternity belt back so I told him go get fixed! He used to use it to help keep the hernia in. LOL any way Monday I need to call the surgeon to make an appointment to see him next week and we will schedule everything. They want to do it ASAP because it is pretty bad and they are afraid if it gets caught it could get restricted and if he has another blockage he is to go to the er ASAP and they will do the surgery then. So he needs to be careful he doesn't get a blockage.


Teresa and Heather your girls father daughter dance dresses are beautiful! I just love sweet pics of daddy's and their little girls. It melts my heart!

I made a little dolly to send to sweet Becca. Hopefully she will make for a good friend in the hospital .

She's a miniature version of the Kimberbell Kids Doll. She's a wee 10" tall, and was sewn mostly in the hoop (meaning the embroidery machine did most of the work).

That is really cute! Will the one you are making the pattern for be of smaller hoops sizes?

Lydia had to get in on the action, too. Notice her adorable outfit, made by our very own Stephres.

Stephanie also sent Tessa this gorgeous Alice in Wonderland outfit that Megan had outgrown. I've been in love with this dress since she posted it!

Sawyer picked out his own outfit this day. My trip report readers may recognize what he's holding in his hands!

Steph both dresses are adorable! Lydia and Tessa look adorable in them!

How cute Sawyer really does LOVe that sward doesn't he?

I am all done! I love the way it came out. The backing is from a baby blanket and its really really soft and cozy.

Quick Tutorial: I cut out fourteen 5.5 inch blocks from 4 fabrics and also 2 fuzzy blocks. I arranged the blocks in 4 rows of 4. I sewed the 16 blocks together to make a block panel. I cut little ribbon "taggies" for around the edges and secured them on the right side with pins. I placed the block panel right sides together with the fuzzy blanket backing. I smoothed it out and pinned around the edges. I cut the backing with an inch to spare around the block panel. Then I stitched around the sides going back and forth over the ribbon tags several times to make sure they were good and secure. I left an opening in order to turn inside out. I trimmed the corners and turned it right side out. I pressed and stiched around the edges and then stiched where the blocks meet (stitch in the ditch). And whaalaaa....all done!

It took me three hours or so cause I am SLOW! It still always takes me hours longer than you all when I sew anything. But I am really excited to give it to my friend and her new baby girl!

Here is my baby girl holding up the finished taggy quilt![/SIZE]

The baby will Love it ! it looks perfect!

I promise this is the last picture!!!

I finished my star wars shirt for the big give. This time I remembered to peel the backing off of the iron-on! I hope he likes it. My DH's comment was he'll be hot in it--ARRGH! Jackson listed red, black, blue for his favorite colors, so I went with the black shirt. He's 12, hopefully he won't feel too hot in it.

I know a 6 yr old named Kyle who would love that!

 

[mommyof2princesses]

Just dropping in quick to say hi and I love everyone's outfits and blankets they have been posting. Been very busy working at a consignment sale the last couple of days. Today is the last day and then I am off to Virginia for homeschool days at Colonial Williamsburg and jamestown. Hopefully when I get back things will have calmed down and I can join in the fun.

That is AWESOME!! I know any boy (or man for that matter) the likes SW will be thrilled! Great job!

 

[MinnieVanMom]

I went to change my ticker this morning because it kept saying I leave in two days. It was always a day off. After I changed it I went to check my airlines tickets and hotel reservations. Guess what? I leave on Tuesday, not Wednesday! I only have today and tomorrow to get ready. I did sew a stroller bag out of plain sheet and our customs but that is all I have done for the trip so far.

Yeah, only two days....only two days

My DS is 12 - he would love it! He wears black all year long, and we live in Texas. He never seems to be too hot. I bet Jackson will be fine - and he's gonna love this shirt!

I'm sooo jealous!!! I too am in with Babylock sergers. Why do they have to be the most expensive??? I am holding out for an Evolve. I really want wave stitch and coverstitch. Did you get the Imagine Wave or the Imagine? I don't think I could get it without the wave stitch. I want it badly! I can just imagine using it to trim out everything I make instead of rick rack. I may be waiting forever for my Evolve though.
I was told about the special where you get the workbook too. I really want to get it because I hear that workbook is great.
It seems everyone I know has an Evolve and doesn't use it around here where I live. If only they would just "lend" it to me.

I got the plain Imagine. It may be poor insight on my part, but I didn't particularly love the wave part - at least enough to pay the extra for it. I think it's really cute, but I kept thinking that I could use variagated thread for a similar affect. So, I cheaped out! There were a few things on the evolve that I loved, but, again, not enough for me to pay the extra. It was a stretch for me. The reason I kept putting it off was that I didn't like the idea of paying more for a serger than I did for my sewing machine. SO, the evolve was not in the cards for me. I am going to be very pleased with the Imagaine, though. I can tell already!

A funny story - when I went back to pick it up, the owner of the store made a comment that really stumped me. I asked him what the price difference inthe imagine and the evolve were (just to make sure I didn't want to go all the way!). He told me. Then he said, "for you to be walking out of here with that machine, at your age, is pretty amazing!" I said, "so, are you saying I'm old?" "NO! I'm saying that most people don't decide they want to invest in this type of machine until they're much older." I found that comment to be very interesting. I WAS the youngest in the class. Not that that is a bad thing at all! I just found it pretty interesting. I just said, "WELL, I have the gift of recognizing quality very quickly!"

Congratulations!!!! Sounds like a great machine

Last night I finished up a very simple blanket/quilt for my friends baby's 1st birthday (which was a couple weeks ago)
Many of my girlfriends are about 3 hours away and I never get to see them. So today DH and I and Megan met them one friend is single and doing the corporate thing, the other has 3 kids. Her middle child has autism and he is 4 now, I was SO impressed with how much he has changed and improved. He was like a totally different kid from when I saw him a year ago. He still has difficulty with eye contact and speaking to some degree, but he was able to interact with the other kids well (ages 7.5,2.5 and the 12month old in a highchair) it used to be impossible to have a conversation with my friend. It was a fun, too short. I get so tired so quick these days- we came home from our hour and half drive each way and i immediately went to sleep.

I took some pics of my friends with the little quilt, Ill try and get around to posting tomorrow.

Happy Saturday Night everyone!!

Sounds like a nice day. Take care of yourself.

Hi Linette - we are in Corning, NY on our way to NIagara Falls, so I havent been on!! I LOVE IT!!!!!! BEAUTIFUL!!!!! YOU totally AMAZE ME!!!

Today I made my own glass bead at the Corning glass museum, really cool!! Bill made an ornament out of blown glass - We get them on Tuesday - cant wait to show ya!! Tomorrow we go on to Niagara Falls!!!!

Have fun in Niagara Falls. Are you going to the Canadian side? We went way back in 1998 they are amazing! Will you go on the boats? (Maids in the Mists?)

Welcome! You can piece one together using a coloring page. THere is a great tutorial about making appliques in the first post of this thread. Or you can find them on ebay sometimes.
Be sure and post a picture of the dresses when you finish

Here are some in the hoop stuffed animals if anyone is interested. There is a free one to try. They are all for the embroidery machine. There is one that looks exactly like Lumpy from Pooh. I was going to buy the rabbit, but he look so sad! I guess I can change his frown into a smile in Embird.

I lost a bunch of my multis, but I loved Arminda and Lydias dresses. Giselle one is my fav. So cute!!!
Loved the rainbow Saint Pattys dress too.

I'm working on painting Hannah's castle bunk bed right now. It is a pretty big project. Air brushing is not fun... not fun at all.

Thanks for the link! I added it to the bookmarks under "embroidery machine".

I MUST see this castle bunk bed!!!!! I am obsessed with the gorgeous beds I've seen online!! Where did you get it?

OHHHHH how beautiful she looks!!! I love the color of green too! And...what a minute...is that a smile I see on Henry's face or did you edit this pic???

He actually smiles quite a bit! He's just a Disney-hater, not a smile-hater!

That is adorable!

This is the reason I rather give my sewing away than sell it!!! I am always second guessing myself, a while back I submitted one of the dress I made to ycmt and got an email that it was approved , but I chicken out and did not do it!!!!!

Gorgeous Linnette!!! I think it looked gorgeous before, too! You really should follow up on the ycmt thing!

I love the pic of Tessa!

Thank you!

That is so cool about your friend's son! My uncle works with autistic kids in Lansing, MI. I guess he has a real knack for breaking through and getting them to open up.

Today I made my own glass bead at the Corning glass museum, really cool!! Bill made an ornament out of blown glass - We get them on Tuesday - cant wait to show ya!!

Uh-oh!! This is where it all started for my cousin. She now is obsessed with making glass beads. She even gave up sewing because making beads takes up all of her time!

!!! Are you looking for an applique that you can buy and just iron on, or stitch onto a garment? Or, do you have an embroidery machine and you're looking for a design to use on it? I've never seen a ready-made applique that is just Snow White's face.

Awww look at Tessa with her Daddy!!! How adorable!!! LOve all her dresses, including the one from Steph. (how nice of Steph!) Love Sawyer's sword too.

Thank you! I think they're awfully cute, too! Sawyer has LOST his sword! You may have seen that it was bent in that photo. I hope Henry didn't throw it away, not realizing how special it was!

Teresa and Heather your girls father daughter dance dresses are beautiful! I just love sweet pics of daddy's and their little girls. It melts my heart!

Thanks for keeping us updated. I'm glad that George didn't need emergency surgery. But, I'm sorry that he's going to need surgery after all. It must be stressful and scary for you both.

Thanks for the compliments!

 

[Stephres]

Jacob: Wow, Arminda looks really pretty in that picture.
Megan: What about Lydia in her Giselle dress?
Me: I love that sash: it really makes the dress!

Cute little peanut!

Love the eyelet on the bottom and on the straps. You did a great job Linette!

Please tell Georgia thank you for insisting on all those pictures! She looks like a perfect Irish lass!

Very cute Stitch! I love how the dress came out, especially the ruffles in the back!

You are so sweet; I know Becca will love it! You are really convincing me I need an embroidery machine!

Megan asked, are those pistachios? Tessa looks so pretty in that dress with her Daddy. I love Sawyer and his sword! The girls look great in the outfits from Megan; it is so much easier convincing her to get rid of them when she knows they are going to her friends!

Wow, that is super cute! Thank you for the mini tutorial!

I'm absolutely amazed at this machine.

Since I purchased today, I got a bunch of extra goodies with the machine. I got a trolley bag, a workbook and a set of specialty feet. They were out of the feet, but I'll get them for free when they come back in to the store. I can't wait to get to work on this machine and show you girls what it will do. Did I mention it's amazing?

Congratulations! Sounds like you are going to have some fun!

My nine year old says it is very cool! I like that you added his name on it too.

Aww so glad that he did not need emergency surgery but hopefully he can get it all fixed soon. Hugs to you...I am sure you have been stressed and worried!

Thank you! I think they're awfully cute, too! Sawyer has LOST his sword! You may have seen that it was bent in that photo. I hope Henry didn't throw it away, not realizing how special it was!

Oh no....I hope Henry did not throw it away too. Sawyer will be so sad!!!

Thanks for all the thoughts a prayers! Thankfully they didn't have to do emergency surgery yesterday. BUT he still needs surgery! The dr said what is happening is since he only has a small intestine there is extra room in his abdomen. The hernia happens to be a large incisional one. So what happens is his intestine rolls and sometimes it gets caught in his hernia and then if he has eaten it gets blocked which causes all of his pain. So they need to close it up and ad some kind of mesh to keep everything in place. This will be his 4th abdominal surgery in 8 yrs UGH! First he had his colon removed and then the take down surgery then he had an incisional hernia where his stoma was with the colostomy bag now this one! Though I think this one will be harder then his last hernia op because it is much bigger and he is 7 yrs older. The last one I was pg with Kyle and I juke that I needed my maternity belt back so I told him go get fixed! He used to use it to help keep the hernia in. LOL any way Monday I need to call the surgeon to make an appointment to see him next week and we will schedule everything. They want to do it ASAP because it is pretty bad and they are afraid if it gets caught it could get restricted and if he has another blockage he is to go to the er ASAP and they will do the surgery then. So he needs to be careful he doesn't get a blockage.

Prayers for your DH!!! Hope they get you in quickly so you won't have to worry..and then that he heals up soon!

I went to change my ticker this morning because it kept saying I leave in two days. It was always a day off. After I changed it I went to check my airlines tickets and hotel reservations. Guess what? I leave on Tuesday, not Wednesday! I only have today and tomorrow to get ready. I did sew a stroller bag out of plain sheet and our customs but that is all I have done for the trip so far.

Yeah, only two days....only two days

Sorry to laugh but that's so funny!!! Guess you should always trust you ticker

Hello. I am a newbie to disboutiquing. I try to buy us matching shirts each year, but was thinking of doing something more creative this time. I love everything that i have seen here. You gals are so creative and talented.

I do not have the time/talent/patience/confidence or whatever to do the beautiful outfits that you create, but I do remember seeing somewhere a list of boutiquers that had free iron-on designs. can anyone please direct me?

specifically we are looking for a star wars theme shirt, a safari mickey (for AK), and some other mickey or disney character(s) for EPCOT and MK.

TIA,
Debra

Well, I did it! I went off the deep end today! I've been drooling over a Baby Lock serger. I LOVE the jet air threading. I went to a demonstration this morning, and ran out of the store as soon as the demo was over because I knew that if I didn't I'd walk out of there with a new serger. I cam home, ate lunch, took a nap, and wok up really, really wanting that serger. SO, I went and got it! I'm the proud owner of a new Baby Lock Imagine serger. It stitches perfect. Every time! I'm absolutely amazed at this machine.

Since I purchased today, I got a bunch of extra goodies with the machine. I got a trolley bag, a workbook and a set of specialty feet. They were out of the feet, but I'll get them for free when they come back in to the store. I can't wait to get to work on this machine and show you girls what it will do. Did I mention it's amazing?

I have a friend who has a Baby Lock serger but she is in Kansas, where we used to live. It's a little far here in Dallas to see it so you'll have to show pictures of yours. So tell me what all it does differently than the cheap old serger I have from Wal-Mart. I think if I remember correctly hers used that jet air to "thread itself" right? I still feel like I am new to the whole sewing thing and don't really understand what all of the machines do. I wish I still lived by my old neighbor so I could see her machines and what she does - doesn't it figure that while I lived there I didn't sew?

I finished my star wars shirt for the big give. This time I remembered to peel the backing off of the iron-on! I hope he likes it. My DH's comment was he'll be hot in it--ARRGH! Jackson listed red, black, blue for his favorite colors, so I went with the black shirt. He's 12, hopefully he won't feel too hot in it.

I truly don't believe that kids feel hot or cold. They can be dripping in sweat and they seem just fine and ready to go or they can be in an ice cold pool on a 70 degree day with blue lips and still not want to leave. So I think the black will be great! It looks fantastic, you did a great job and I am sure it will be appreciated!

I hope everything goes okay with the surgery. We will say some prayers for you that it gets scheduled quickly.

WooHoo! That is reason to celebrate in my book!

My DS is 12 - he would love it! He wears black all year long, and we live in Texas. He never seems to be too hot. I bet Jackson will be fine - and he's gonna love this shirt!

I got the plain Imagine. It may be poor insight on my part, but I didn't particularly love the wave part - at least enough to pay the extra for it. I think it's really cute, but I kept thinking that I could use variagated thread for a similar affect. So, I cheaped out! There were a few things on the evolve that I loved, but, again, not enough for me to pay the extra. It was a stretch for me. The reason I kept putting it off was that I didn't like the idea of paying more for a serger than I did for my sewing machine. SO, the evolve was not in the cards for me. I am going to be very pleased with the Imagaine, though. I can tell already!

A funny story - when I went back to pick it up, the owner of the store made a comment that really stumped me. I asked him what the price difference inthe imagine and the evolve were (just to make sure I didn't want to go all the way!). He told me. Then he said, "for you to be walking out of here with that machine, at your age, is pretty amazing!" I said, "so, are you saying I'm old?" "NO! I'm saying that most people don't decide they want to invest in this type of machine until they're much older." I found that comment to be very interesting. I WAS the youngest in the class. Not that that is a bad thing at all! I just found it pretty interesting. I just said, "WELL, I have the gift of recognizing quality very quickly!"

Hmm, that is kind of strange comments! Sometimes though I think that there aren't a lot of people our age sewing. Do you think that is what he meant?
